Out of sight... out of mind

I put my scale in the trunk of my car! Today was a weigh in day and the results were not what I was hoping for. I know that I am a better eater than a week ago, I know I exercise stronger than a week ago and I know I am NOT just a number. So for the rest of the month (the end of my orginal five weeks) no scale is going to tell me how to feel. I am going to let my legs, lungs, heart, arms tell me.

wow, now that I read that I just might be out of my mind.

    I think you have a great plan. When I started this time, I decided that I would not be a slave to the scale. You see, in the past, if I had a bad reading on the scale, I would tend to "blow off" the rest of the day, vowing to start again "tomorrow." Pretty soon, you are never starting again. This time around, I decided I would weigh myself every 60 days! My mind says that if I don't know whether or not I'm losing, I need to keep at it! Will it work? Is it a good strategy? I'll let you know in several months. It seems to have worked for the first 60 days! Only time will tell, but I do feel like I am more committed because I am not checking the number every freaking day!
